I Can't Sleep

If you have been sexually assaulted, you may find it difficult to sleep. You may wake up in the middle of the night and find it hard to get back to sleep. You may have nightmares, or shout out during sleep. Or you may sleep more than usual.

This may seem strange or worrisome if it happens to you, but it is a normal reaction after having been assaulted. It may take some time before you will be able to sleep the way you did before you were assaulted.
